Decisions and directions

I have decided to do a couple of things that have heretofore been merely thoughts. Actions speak far louder than that self-doubting internal dialog and it's about time that I started 'Just Doing' the things I've been musing over for so long. First things first: I sent a portfolio of photos of my work to New Visions Center in Scottsdale. They are hanging a show early in June and I am hoping to have some work included. My submissions may be too late to be considered but I am hopeful that they will throw them into the mix. I have a long and unimpressive history of running late with every application I turn in. I sincerely wish to stop that trend. For example: There are a couple of shows I want to send entries to. They are due on June 2 and really need to be mailed this week. Will I get it done? Probably not until it has gone down to the wire. This has nothing to do with my pride in my work but is purely lazy, anti-motivated procrastination. In the meantime, I have also made a decision about the direction of my work. I have decided to re-open the God's Medicine chest concept with Medicine Jars and boxes, well containers of all sorts. This should give me a fairly broad concept to splash around in while solving the age-old question I ask myself everytime a set out to make a new piece of art: What should I do? I never have problems selecting a pallette of colors and fabrics to work with, I've got stacks of preselected fabrics all over the sewing room. Inevitably the composition and topic become the stumbling block that holds me back for weeks. This is so silly and - now, hopefully - unneccessary
